  • Wichita Massacre
    None Dare Call It Hate Crime! The Victims The Killers The Crimes ATM Connection Email Webmaster The Atrocity in Wichita by James Buchanan Most Americans think Wichita is a fairly safe place to live aside from the occasional tornado. They see the state of Kansas as a mostly White place with relatively few social problems. Kansas however has the same racial problems as every other state in America. The people of Kansas are a bit naive compared to the residents of New York and Los Angeles. Perhaps some of them actually believe all that diversity propaganda about all the races living in harmony. This naive attitude may have led to one of the most horrendous crimes in American history, the Wichita Massacre. Only one major news outlet, Newsmax, has bothered to give any attention to this case as two death penalties were announced. (Ref. 1) If this torture-murder spree had been committed by Whites against Whites, the trial would have been front page news and the announcement of the death penalty would have been a major headline. If the crime had been committed by Whites against Blacks, we would have heard it on the news every single day of the trial. Hate crime charges would have been filed on day one, and White people in general would have been endlessly condemned for being "intolerant and hateful." But because the perpetrators were Black and the victims were White, the liberal mass media has quietly buried this story as something that might harm "diversity." The incident began when two Blacks, Reginald and Jonathan Carr, broke into a triplex shared by three White men, who had two girlfriends over that evening.

This announcement came one week after an FBI report indicated that both violent crime and property crime jumped significantly higher in over 70% of California cities with populations of 100,000 or more. The Governor’s “Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016” would allow early parole for habitual felons in prison for serious crimes, such as residential burglary, even if they have prior convictions for violent crimes, such as second-degree murder or rape.

  • KANSAS V. CARR
    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2015 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus KANSAS v. CARR CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF KANSAS No. 14–449. Argued October 7, 2015—Decided January 20, 2016* A Kansas jury sentenced respondent Sidney Gleason to death for killing a co-conspirator and her boyfriend to cover up the robbery of an elder- ly man. A Kansas jury sentenced respondents Reginald and Jonathan Carr, brothers, to death after a joint sentencing proceeding. Respondents were convicted of various charges stemming from a notorious crime spree that culminated in the brutal rape, robbery, kidnaping, and ex- ecution-style shooting of five young men and women. The Kansas Supreme Court vacated the death sentences in each case, holding that the sentencing instructions violated the Eighth Amendment by failing “to affirmatively inform the jury that mitigat- ing circumstances need only be proved to the satisfaction of the indi- vidual juror in that juror’s sentencing decision and not beyond a rea- sonable doubt.” It also held that the Carrs’ Eighth Amendment right “to an individualized capital sentencing determination” was violated by the trial court’s failure to sever their sentencing proceedings.

  • Justice Antonin Scalia's Last Opinion
    CRS Reports & Analysis Legal Sidebar Justice Antonin Scalia’s Last Opinion 03/15/2016 Justice Antonin Scalia wrote his last opinion for the Court in a capital punishment case, Kansas v. Carr. There, the Court reversed two decisions of the Kansas Supreme Court and held that “the Eighth Amendment [does not] require . capital-sentencing courts to instruct the jury that mitigating circumstances need not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.” It also held that the Eighth Amendment did not require separate trials for two of the defendants in one of the Kansas cases. The defendants in one of the cases, the Carr brothers, were convicted of “4 counts of capital murder, 1 count of attempted first-degree murder, 5 counts of aggravated kidnaping, 9 counts of aggravated robbery, 20 counts of rape or attempted rape, 3 counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, 1 count each of aggravated burglary and burglary, 1 count of theft, and 1 count of cruelty to animals” as part of one crime spree. Reginald Carr was also convicted of kidnaping, aggravated robbery, aggravated battery, and criminal damage to property committed on another occasion. Both Reginald and Jonathan Carr were convicted of first-degree felony murder in connection with yet a third episode. The defendant in the second case, Gleason, was convicted of two counts of capital murder, aggravated kidnaping, aggravated robbery, and criminal possession of a firearm. Defendants in both cases were sentenced to death, and in both cases the Kansas Supreme Court vacated their sentences on Eighth Amendment grounds. The Kansas court’s Gleason decision acknowledged an apparent conflict with U.S.

  • Supreme Court Midterm Summary for the States 2016
    Supreme Court Midterm Summary for the States 2016 April 2016 By: Lisa Soronen, State and Local Legal Center, Washington, D.C. The State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) files Supreme Court amicus curiae briefs on behalf of the Big Seven national organizations representing state and local governments. *Indicates a case where the SLLC has filed an amicus brief. “Big” Cases In Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association the Court issued a non-precedential 4-4 opinion affirming by an equally divided Court the lower court’s decision to not overrule Abood v. Detroit Board of Education (1977). In Abood the Supreme Court held that the First Amendment does not prevent “agency shop” arrangements where public employees who do not join the union are still required to pay their “fair share” of union dues for collective-bargaining, contract administration, and grievance-adjustment. The rationale for an agency fee is that the union may not discriminate between members and nonmembers in performing these functions. So no free-riders are allowed. In two recent cases, Knox v. SEIU (2012) and Harris v. Quinn (2014), in 5-4 opinions written by Justice Alito and joined by the other conservative Justices (including Justice Scalia and Justice Kennedy), the Court was very critical of Abood. The Court heard oral argument in this case in January before Justice Scalia died, and the five more conservative Justices seemed poised to overrule Abood. Justice Scalia, who ultimately didn’t participate in this case, likely would have voted to overrule Abood. In Reynold v. Sims (1964) the Court established the principle of “one-person, one-vote” requiring state legislative districts to be apportioned equally.
